<p>We have sat back and watched the Republican Party take over the Supreme Court so now the court is just another branch of the Republican Party.</p>
<p>The court corruptly stepped in to stop the Florida recount (which was legal under Florida law) to steal the election for George W Bush. The court also decided to allow businesses to be recognized as people so they can now give ENDLESS amounts of money to Republican candidates at the election.</p>
<p>It&#39;s time to rise up and demand change. The Supreme Court is corrupt, biased and out of touch with the majority of American people.</p>
<p>This week they once again ignored the lives of millions of LGBT American taxpayers but chose to take cases involving big, money-making business which would benefit very few in our society.</p>
<p>They are a DISGRACE.</p>DC Arnold commented on 'Towleroad Talking Points: Silence from SCOTUS'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017c342c8966970b2012-12-01T22:05:31Z2012-12-01T22:05:31ZDC ArnoldLet's cut to the chase: SCOTUS is still conservative and lost an election, do you really think they are ready...<p>Let&#39;s cut to the chase: SCOTUS is still conservative and lost an election, do you really think they are ready to give us anything? The decision to review is just the first of the bitchiest of all paybacks.</p>Bob commented on 'Towleroad Talking Points: Silence from SCOTUS'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017c34273f85970b2012-12-01T07:20:44Z2012-12-01T07:20:44ZBobThe Nevada judge is a MORMON WHO GRADUATED FROM BYU.

The Court of Appeals Justice who dissented in the Prop 8 case is a MORMON IN IDAHO, where his family would have been shunned if he had voted for justice.<br />
The mormon church is holding back, due to the bad publicity, but individuals mormons refuse to place truth and fairness above what they are taught. The good news is their backing off from large scale organizing in the State marriage referendums last month. Washington one of the most mormon States, but the western part of the State prevailed.<br />
THANK BUDDHA THAT THE MORMON, ROMNEY, WENT DOWN IN FLAMES --- I am sad to say that it is not safe to trust any of them to be fair.</p>Liam commented on 'Towleroad Talking Points: Silence from SCOTUS'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017ee5ca2557970d2012-12-01T05:22:59Z2012-12-01T05:22:59ZLiamOK, before the hordes come in and start blasting the Supreme Court for being evil and homophobic, a few more...<p>OK, before the hordes come in and start blasting the Supreme Court for being evil and homophobic, a few more facts are in order. What the Court is deciding is whether or not to HEAR one or more of the marriage equality cases. The Court has total discretion as to what it hears and what it doesn&#39;t. At this stage, all they will issue is an order granting or denying review, not a ruling. There are numerous reasons why the Court may not have decided today. They may be deciding whether they need to consolidate the cases currently at the SC or Court of Appeals level. They like to wait for review until they have conflicting decisions before them. There may be a struggle going on as to whether to grant review. It takes 4 votes for the Court to grant review. In any event, what the Court releases (my money&#39;s on next Friday) won&#39;t be an opinion or a decision on the merits, but simply a decision as to whether or not to hear the case(s). One way or another, this will be nowhere near a final decision, and there&#39;s a long way to go. Your readers should be aware of that.</p>
